About this listen
Why did Colorado and Utah struggle for snow while the Northeast and the Alps saw massive storm cycles?
In this episode of Where to Ski, we break down one of the strangest ski winters in recent memory with two mountain weather experts:
- OpenSnow meteorologist Alan Smith
- WePowder forecaster Koen Stewart
We dive into the weather patterns that shaped the season, including persistent high-pressure ridges over the western U.S., huge snowfall events in the Alps, and why avalanche danger stayed elevated for weeks.
We cover:
- Why Colorado and Utah saw a snow drought
- How the Northeast ended up with one of its best winters in years
- What drove huge storm cycles in Europe
- Why avalanche conditions were so dangerous
- What skiers should watch heading into next season
If you spent this winter chasing snow — or wondering where it went — this episode explains it all.
🎧 Listen now for the weather story behind one of the most unusual ski seasons in years.
